Kuala Lumpur Masters' City Day Relay

The training, preparation and build-up for this City Day Relay would be flawless if it wasn't for the injury during handball which Dillion knocked me down when I was air-borne ready to shoot. I injured my acetabulum, the joint between my hips and my thigh bone, in layman's terms; the region close to my buttock. Thank God nothing was broken and no fractures or what so ever.

Maybe, maybe I'm injury-prone because I'm too thin and 'fragile' as described by Ethan and Seng Chye respectively. Could someone really be 'fragile' and injured easilly when one's too thin?

That caused me to limp for a couple of days, went for instant treatment at Madam Heng's Chinese Medicine centre which caused me RM60. What the hell, RM 60 can last me a week in Kampar for meals and etc. Dillion, feeling bad? Don't worry you can make up to it by spending me a few Dota session at Quas, thanks.

The injury has hamper my action of walking, let alone RUN. But the race must go on. Because this is a relay, a 3x3km relay, me pulling out would bring down my team and cancel out my team's hope and give other teams less good competition. That's not worth it man. So screw the pain, I ran.


So for this relay, we decided on me being the first runner, Yong Meng second, and Kevin our last runner. Yong Meng and Kevin, you guys ran well, good job :). The result, we got 15th place out of 51 teams in our category, that's creditable. There were awesomely fast runners, so yeah.

Mind you, we joined the Men's Open category that consists of runners aging between 18 to 34 who are usually at their prime. Early this morning when I was reporting my team, the lady in charged looked at me, saying, "You, reporting for Men's Juniors(school kids) ?" I mentioned to Kevin in a rather less pleased tone in front of that lady, "I look like a school kid? I'm 20."

I shall take this in a rather positive note. I look youthful and there are plenty more years in me :D.


Before the race, ex-DJ runners, still at it - running :).

The flag off,

Spot me in the mid front line? I'm in red with the baton with a smile that can't hide my anxiety. No, I'm not that eccentric dude with that red semi-transparent vest. Ew, thanks but no thanks we are not interested in viewing your nipples :(.


Yong Meng in the sea of second runners awaiting their first runners to arrive. Yong Meng must be thinking, "What is taking you so longg, Meng Leong" haha.

----

After the run,

It's good to run fast and end the race early to grab your cup of Milo conveniently as there would be a much longer line when other slower runners return :P.

Water to replenish the lost fluid.

Bananas for hungry monkeys. ahha.

From left, Kevin's, Yong Meng's and mine :).

Winner #1 :p. Self-proclaimed handsome dude haha.

Winner #2. The injured-not-at-his-best-runner.

Winner #3. Have you met someone who can pose well for pictures and have good stamina? (other than Yong Meng's infamous camwhore pics haha) :P.

Team DJ :).

Yong Meng left early because he got to rush off to Seremban with his parents for business purpose.

The medal.

---
So left us two, after being presented the medals.

That's about it, got to go, got a train to catch tonight. Back to Kampar.

Empty.

Lately, things have been different. Really different. :\
I'm not some who's fond of such situations, sadly.

Really wish to express my thoughts and spill it all out here like I used to, but I dare not. So much at stake, so much emotions involved.

---

To sum up what I've been up lately,

At Kampar, savouring the moments. As you can see Choon Lim and Ooi enjoying the scenery by the campus lake ahha.


Worked at Proton's Badminton Malaysia Open 2010, which was memorable in a way that I didn't want it to be. Koo Kien Keat's Hokkien by the way. Congrats on your title!


Recently celebrated my cousin, Irene's 21st birthday :).

---

Just came back from Ethan's farewell dinner. Feels surreal thinking Ethan's gonna leave. It's gonna be really different without you around Ethan. You are a responsible fella and a very dependable friend.

Watch out girls, this tanned hunk is coming to New Zealand to make you sway.

2005 at Penang. Haha remember those times Ethan, Siang, Dina, Jane? :)

---

1 day left to Kuala Lumpur Masters' City Day Relay. Unfortunately I had a bad fall during Ethan's farewell-handball and injured my hips. Limping now, but I'm positive I will run this race with every ounce of energy I have although it means bearing tremendous pain.

Take my words Yong Meng and Kevin, I will not let the team down :).

Bring it on.

Malacca - Seremban Trip

Greetings, I have to say it's been a rather laid back semester break for me. Going for outings and trips were just about the things I needed. So without hesitating, I agree to go with Jac and Sg. Long group to Malacca :).

Most pictures are taken from LiLi. Thank you for the pictures!

Our luxurious mode of transportation :), Jason and Sam's car.

Dim Sum Breakfast at Seremban.

Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball for lunch. We went to the famous shop at Jonker Street, but the standard of taste of the chicken has definitely dropped and Ipoh Chickens would thrash this chicken at anytime of the day. But still, this shops have lines of tourists waiting to be seated.

MOS at Malacca. Happening eh?

Around the Stadhuys buildings, we guys try to juggle the expression of being constipated and looking macho :).

But we missed the chance of having Satay Celup for supper :\.

---

Next day, we walked around to search for Baba Nyonya food and we stumble upon this restaurant.

Nasi Lemak with Nyonya Rendang Chicken, only RM3.50 a plate. Heck, the sambal tastes damn good, with flavourful and spicy, I LIKE!

Li Li's ice kacang. I had durian cendol but did not take a picture of it :p.

Right after that we all decided to leave and head back home. Before we all go back KL, we stop by Seremban to buy Siew Pau and other pastries.

Don't play play, it's the Siew Pow Empire. haha.

Guang Wei doing pastry shopping :p.

Final stop, at Li Han's house where her mum welcomed us with yummy roasted duck and fresh watermelon juice. Thanks :D!

My tummy was really filled up then.

Thoroughly enjoyable trip with all of you :).
